Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. We also have with us Abu 'Abdullah from 'Asir. Please, Abu 'Abdullah. Peace be upon you. Peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you.

The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.

The questioner:
We need the Shaykh, my brother.

The presenter:
Please, Shaykh, you are with us.

The questioner:
My brother, we have a woman whose husband passed away before this year's Ramadan. She wants to fast for him. Ten days remain for us to catch up, but does she have to feed people or not?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
Does she feed people on his behalf or not?

The Shaykh:
The question.

The presenter:
I mean, Abu 'Abdullah, did her husband pass away during Ramadan?

The questioner:
No, he passed away before this year's Ramadan, and she wants to fast on his behalf? She found out his ruling and wants to fast on his behalf?

The Shaykh:
Did he reach Ramadan or did he not reach it?

The questioner:
Yes, Ramadan has already passed, perhaps ten days ago.

The presenter:
He says: Shaykh, he passed away with ten days of Ramadan makeup remaining.

The Shaykh:
He passed away with makeup days remaining.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Or he passed away and had days of Ramadan remaining when he died.

The questioner:
Days, days, meaning he was ill and had makeup days.

The Shaykh:
Did he make them up, or my brother, did he reach them but was unable to fast them and then died?

The questioner:
No, in Ramadan he was fasting, but on some days he broke the fast because he was ill.

The Shaykh:
Yes, last year's Ramadan or this year's? Last year's or this year's?

The questioner:
The past one, the one that has passed, the one before this Ramadan, in the year 1435.

The Shaykh:
Yes, others should make them up for him, may Allah reward them with good, those who make them up.

The questioner:
'Umar, did I tell you about him or not?

The presenter:
Abu 'Abdullah, can you be patient for a moment?

The questioner:
They feed people on his behalf for every day.

The Shaykh:
It is fasted on his behalf, my brother, it is fasted on his behalf.

The questioner:
Not feeding his uncle. For every day, one person is fed for every day.

The Shaykh:
The days that were upon him are fasted on his behalf.

The questioner:
Yes, they do not feed people on his behalf.

The presenter:
No, no, they do not feed people on his behalf, Abu 'Abdullah. The Shaykh is telling you: they fast them.

The Shaykh:
My brother.

The presenter:
Thank you, Abu 'Abdullah,
